Thanks for the info everyone. I'll have to put him into a container where I can get a good over head shot next time I clean out the tank.
And thanks for the compliment. Oddly enough, if the pleco is held at the right angle under light he looks really light tan and has a very brindle looking pattern. But anywhere in the tank he appears, he looks really dark almost black. I'll try and get better pics up next cleaning.
WyldFya- Thanks for all your hard work on the site. You guys do an outstanding job. *applauds*
